Drone roof survey in Everton: what you get
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Near protected airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and tell you. Prisons have their own drone restriction zones too. Typical surveys look at blistered or cracked flat roof coverings and ridge and hip pieces working loose, across large and complex roofs, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Everton may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Everton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
What a drone roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs

What a drone roof survey looks like in Everton
Everton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. In Everton, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Southampton.
Here we cover the SO41 postcode area for drone roof surveys. We offer drone roof surveys to properties on Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive. If you’re just outside Everton, we cover Lymore (1 mile south), Milford on Sea (1 mile south), Pennington (1 mile east), Lower Pennington (2 miles east) and Keyhaven (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (3 miles west), Ringwood (11 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (3 miles west).
Local landmarks in Everton
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Priestlands School and The Crown Public House and the streets around them. Everton’s nearest station is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.5 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.3 miles north-east). The countryside around Everton includes Milford on Sea LNR.
When to book a survey in Everton
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are often invisible from below. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Why act early in Everton
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. You can show exactly where the problem is, which helps when you ask for quotes. For an older or listed building in a place like Everton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Useful tips for Everton property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
File the report and photos with your home documents. They give you something to compare against later.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
Everton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Everton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is drone flying allowed in Everton?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
